G-Shock B5000 "full metal square"?
Evening all,
I am after some help!
I currently have two watches, a 116610lv and a 16710 gmt. Happy to rotate both of those daily but I would like a nice beater to go along side them.
I did think about a PRS-25 but I am not sure about the 36mm size, one of the reasons I sold my 114270 explorer.
Anyway, any suggestions? Open to quartz or auto. Open to brands but would prefer it not to be a diver.
Cheers Gavin.
Dan Henry 1962 chronograph. Great for grab and go and looks great. $260 US.

Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.
I’m looking at a Marloe Coniston at the moment

For the very same reason I plumped for the Alpina GMT quartz...

Non diver good quality quartz for about £300 I’d be looking at one of these, just now screen shot from Amazon:

Very close to your budget would be a Hamilton Khaki Field Auto 38mm H70455533...
Would be a great beater...
Another vote for Hamilton Khaki Field. If you’re open to manual wind, you should be able to find this one near your budget: https://www.hamiltonwatch.com/en-gb/...echanical.html . I have it and really think it would be difficult to find a comparable watch at this price. Excellent quality.
One of the new Seiko 5s? With discounts, within your budget.
Not really a dive watch and so many diverse designs as well, you're bound to find something you like.
I'd go for a Seiko snzg15k1 and pocket the change.
Oh dear! This thread is going to cost me money. I just know it! Really like that Dan Henry and the Alpina.
Thank you for the suggestions so far. I like the Alpina! Will start there.
the new PRS-25 is 40mm if you like the style and it was just the size putting you off.

I wouldn't be without this. It's goes everywhere with me.
If someone asks me this question I always have one answer:
Seiko skx007.
Such a classic
At this price point I'd be going quartz. How about a CWC G10? They are 38mm so a touch bigger than your Explorer. You'll have loads of change for natos too!
Hamilton Khaki King anyday I reckon , a quartz with bracelet will be in budget as they are often discounted as would the auto used.
Dozens of versions to consider https://www.jomashop.com/hafiwase.html
The 38mm Newmark 6BB is £299

That Dan Henry is really rather nice!
The Newmark looks good.
